    Hellooooo everyone!!! Thank you for all your lovely comments and thanks to the organisers and cheerleaders and everyone. This has been my first read-a-thon but by golly it won’t be my last….I haven’t read all the books for a start!!!!! Let’s be honest – I’ve only read two…plenty left for next time. It was lovely to meet such wonderful bookish friends.

    Well, I’m finally turning in a challenge on the early side. I’ve missed the deadlines on several but am getting the hang of this. Thanks to everyone who participated in this — I enjoyed myself immensely. See you in blogland and, of course, at the fall RaT.

    I want to thank to everyone who cheered, commented, organized and did something to participate in the read-a-thon. This was my first time and I soo hope I can join the next time. I loved it!!
    I wanted to finish 3 books but I only finished 2 books, so I’m a little bit disappointed but nonetheless I’m still proud of myself =)
    I’ve just finished my second books and written the final challenge so I’m off to bed.
    And the sun is shining in Atlanta,Georgia….

    This was my first time and it was great! Everyone did a great job cheering everyone else on. I had a great time as a cheerleader and a reader!

  18. RachelCabbiton 11 Apr 2010 at 3:44 am 18

    Not long left now. i don’t want it to end, despite how much I want and need sleep!
    I posted the End of Event meme, because I am not sure if I am going to finish my audiobook in time for the end.
    I can’t wait for the next readathon though :D
    Thank you for the wonderful 24 hours!

    Thank you, Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed this Read-a-Thon even though I didn’t put in as many minutes or read as many pages as in last October. I’ve posted my End of Event Meme and will be making a couple more posts with comments and observations.

    This was my first Read-A-Thon, and I am really impressed with how organized everything was and how much fun I had. I already look forward to the next one. Great Job to all who took part, especially those who had a hand in organizing the challenges and cheers!

    Until next time. ;-)
